Well for me I lost weight right away. SOME people retain fluids while in the hospitol from the IV's...but me i was one that had to pee every 30 mintues and bother the nurses around the clock every 30 mintues to go and they had to unhook everything so that i could go...oh well. I have heard some folks come home up some weight from this but my body ridded it fast.

As far as my eating habits....well i will say i can eat far more now and i do have to be careful with eating now. I am out of the honeymoon of looseing
window and its harder now. NOW i have to eat and use my new tool correctly to maintain this weight i am at now.

I do now dump on sugar unless i eat them on an empty stomach. I have a few foods that disagree but nearly as many as the first year. THE only problem that i have had as a post op was around my one year i had a small bleeding ulcer which meds helped rid for me. OTHERWISE i have had a healthy uncomplicated journey so far.
